Home advantage counts as Kyrgios wins Brisbane International

Nick Kyrgios won an ATP title on home soil for the first time today with a commanding 6-4, 6-2 victory over Ryan Harrison at the Brisbane International.

It was a fourth title for the enigmatic 22-year-old Australian and his first since 2016.

Harrison had five breakpoint chances in the first set but couldn’t convert and third-seeded Kyrgios bounced back to get the decisive break in the seventh game and took control with a mix of unorthodox shot-making and pure power on his serve.
